Chemical Bank employees used their banking knowledge this month to encourage and inspire more than 5,000 students across Michigan to become life-long savers as part of National Financial Literacy Month and National Teach Children to Save Day.

The classroom visit involved reading and discussing a storybook about Dollar the Silver Squirrel, Chemical Bank’s mascot. Activities included sharing money related goals and learning how money grows with time. After the session, students were encouraged to save their money at home in a piggy bank or container and when it is full, deposit it in a savings account.
